To a large bowl add the flour and salt. Whisk and slowly drizzle in the milk until there are no lumps. Whisk in the egg. Allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C. Add 1 teaspoon oil to each of the muffin tray cups and place in the oven. Heat for 10 minutes until the oil starts to smoke.
Slide the oven rack out of the oven and carefully fill each cup 1/3 way full. Slide the pan back into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until browned and puffed. Do not open the oven door before they are finished baking, they will deflate.
